This is a MUST for anyone interested in the history, present and future of sea glass. Meet the amazing and very knowledgeable Cass Forrington, and browse the museum plus shop for goodies. We had a blast there and learned a lot from the Captain.

Beautiful jewelry for sale made from sea glass. The collection of glass pieces is outstanding. Very well organized and many pieces identified as to what they once were. Really pretty darn cool. Free admission; donations please.

I would say go and look, but it wasn't a wow. Some very good info about the area and how the beach was formed, but its pretty funky, and very small. Cool to see all the different colors of glass and clay shards and learn about where they came from and the time periods.

We did not know it but we had bought the sea glass book earlier in the day at a shop in town and the author of the book owns the museum. I thought the jewelry he had for sale was a bit pricy but the displays were very interesting.

It's not something created by nature, it's glass pieces polished by the ocean. The owner is in museum himself and tells stories to people, we liked it ... Glass stones are pretty and carefully arranged by colors.

This place is cute and kitschy and shares very interesting information not only about the sea glass from Ft. Bragg, but the meaning and significance of different colors of glass, their rarity, etc. If you love sea glass you just have to stop. It's a fun 15-minute stop and well worth it.

Just like a previous reviewer said, we spent about twenty minutes looking around and that was plenty of time. The collection of sea glass is laid out in three separate rooms, arranged by color and type, and that was interesting. There is information posted about the origins of some of the glass, and the history of Glass Beach in Fort... More

After a visit, you 'll know more about where that glass came from and what it used to be. Displays show all sorts and colors and explains the origins of the glass beaches. Maps available if you want to visit the beaches yourself. I give them credit for making the museum bigger than the jewelry store.

This small museum is more like a gift shop with a number of interesting displays. If you go to Glass Beach this place helps you understand what you saw on the shoreline. Twenty minutes should be enough time to take in everything!

We took a rack card from the hotel we were staying at and in return, they gave us a free map. The collection in the museum was amazing and the person helping us gave us great information to help us find the best sea glass. We happened to be there during low tide so they suggested we go straight to... More
